Our Mission
As the missions and evangelism agency of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States it is OCMC's mission to make disciples of all nations by bringing people to Christ and His Church.
Our Values
We value proclaiming and witnessing Christ to all people with priority given to those who have never heard or accepted the Gospel.
We value sharing the love of Christ for the care of the total person – spiritual and physical.
We value ministry in the language and culture of the people.
We value our people – well-trained Missionaries, Staff, Board, Supporters, Indigenous Leadership and those being served.
We value communities, parishes, and individuals that are mission-minded and have active mission involvement.
We value being an open and transparent agency that values the gifts of stewardship provided to us by the faithful.
We send long term missionaries to work in 19 countries; medical mission teams to Central America, supplement support for 600 mission priests in 16 countries in Africa, Indonesia and India.
In the 2021-2022 fiscal year, OCMC distributed more than $800,000 to projects in 21 countries in Africa, Central and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
These projects include water wells, support to orphanages and schools, evangelism and catechetical projects, seminary construction and tuition support, church construction and renovation, emergency food distributions, agricultural activities to support the livelihoods of those in poverty, and income-generating projects that will help Orthodox Dioceses become financially self-sustaining.
